Produced by MC Shan, who also contributed a rap verse, the single was a chart-topping hit, spending seven consecutive weeks at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100. It was his biggest hit in the United Kingdom, where it reached number two, behind two different number-one singles. The song is well known for the line "a licky boom boom down"[1] and for Snow's fast toasting and often unintelligible lyrics. In 2007, it was ranked number 84 on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the 90s".[2] Conversely, the song was included in Pitchfork's 2010 list of "The Seven Worst U.S. Number One Singles of the 90s".[3] In 2019, Puerto Rican singer, songwriter and rapper Daddy Yankee released a reimagination of "Informer" as "Con Calma" together with Snow, who recorded new parts. The Spanish-language remake topped the charts of 20 countries and reached the top 10 of 10 others. I hope you enjoyed this video.
